ICONICS AnnouncesHyper Historian™version 10.7

Mission Critical Plant Process Historian for the Chemical Industry

Frankfurt, Germany – ACHEMA 2012 – June 18-22, 2012– Halle 9.1 Stand E68 ICONICS, a leading supplier of HMI/SCADA, Plant Process Historians, and Energy and Equipment Analytics Software Solutions, announced the release of Hyper Historian version 10.7.

ICONICS Hyper Historian is a very high speed, reliable and robust industrial plant wide historian solution designed for mission critical applications. It takes full advantage of the latest 64-bit, .NET-based computing technologies and numerous performance features including full utilization of multi-core hardware. Hyper Historian is the first plant historian to be compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Certified for Microsoft Windows Server 2008, and includetight integration with Microsoft SQLServer 2012. The software also fully leveragesOPC Classic and OPC-UA communication standards, as well as a wide variety of other protocols for connecting to users existing infrastructure.

“The Plant Process Historian is used by the chemical and process industries to perform deep historization with slices of contextual data that enable plants to pro-actively manage and optimize production, maintenance and energy consumption, while simultaneously preventing potential environmental and safety issues before problems occur,” according to Craig Resnick, Vice President of Consulting at ARC Advisory Group.“However, for a historian to achieve today’s chemical and process industries requirements, it must have redundancy capabilities, provide connectivity from the plant floor to the enterprise, have the tools to calculate sophisticated application-specific performance algorithms, and have extremely high recording performance, all functionality that ICONICS Hyper Historian V10.7 has been proven to achieve.”

Hyper Historian version 10.7 offers the following new enhancements:

  • Mission Critical Redundancy- Hyper Historian has supported redundancy at all levels including redundancy of multiple distributed collectors, redundancy of multiple distributed loggers, and redundancy of multiple OPC/OPC-UA interfaces. Release 10.7 adds:
  • Redundancy of the OPC-UA HDA Interface- Third party and customer applications accessing historical data via the HDA interface will now failover to active loggers
  • Performance Calculations - The extensive performance calculation capabilities can now be configured to execute on redundant platforms.
  • Remote Collector Datasets - Collectors can now collect and merge entire datasets from devices. (for example, polling for entire register tables from PLCs that are maintaining their own trend logs, or well site rtu datalogs)

The above enhancements add to the already extensive capability that includes:

•Archives and Compresses Data at +100,000 Values/Sec.

•Web-enabled Configuration and Administration

•Rich 2D and 3D Real-time Charts, Trends, Grids

•Remote Collectors with Store and Forward Technology

•Integrated Redundant Architecture

•Unattended Data Archiving and Backup

•Real-time and Historical Data Replay

•Performance Calculation Engine for Advanced Analysis

•Diagnostic Data Tracing with Event Logs

•MergeWorX Historical Data Integration

•Extensible SQL Query Language
